About the ASI ASI, n See Anxiety Sensitivity Index. SIG The Advanced Switching Interconnect (1) To attach one device to another. (2) A physical port (plug, socket) or wireless port (transmitter, receiver) used to attach one device to another. SIG (ASI SIG) is a non-profit collaborative trade organization tasked with developing and supporting a switched interconnect and data fabric interface specification for communications, storage and embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. equipment, termed Advanced Switching Interconnect (ASI), based on the PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. architecture. The ASI SIG's board of directors and members are comprised of industry leading equipment manufacturers and semiconductor and tools vendors. In addition to ongoing technical development of the specification, these member companies help to define, develop and market ASI. The overall tasks performed by the members of the SIG include establishing broad industry awareness, ongoing technical development and enabling rapid industry adoption through training programs, ecosystem development and interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. and compliance testing. The board of directors includes Agere, Alcatel Alcatel Société Alsacienne de Constructions Atomiques, de Télécomunications et d'Electronique , Huawei Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. (Chinese: 华为技术有限公司; Pinyin: Huáwei Jíshu Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī , Intel, Siemens, Vitesse and Xilinx. More information can be found at www.asi-sig.org. |
